You may want to check this out before being part of the GenBucks program! It also explains why all GB product sites are banned by Google!
GenBucks is great, its one of the few affiliate networks who doesn't care if you use blackhat tactics for promotion, anything from spamming to cookie stuffing. If you're not a blackhatter I don't why you would consider them in the first place, if you are then they are your friend.
I made a truckload of cash the last years with GB. BUT why is the members dashboard not available for the last couple of days??!?!?!
GenBusks is one of the best affiliate programs ! I am using it and i haven't got problems with it. The support is excellent. They have problem with hosting as i know, i hope that everything will be OK soon. Their templates are banned, but that's because google don't want equal websites in his index... i haven't got enough time to explain, but GenBucks are correct !
What is the deal with the main genbucks site? I can't log in for over a week now and some of their sites are not working as well.... are they going to get shut down?
This is another proof that they are not a respectful business! Affiliates have not been able to login to their accounts for days due to some "technical issues". GenBucks didn't even notify their affiliates of the downtime. All their ordering pages are down and affiliates are losing money... I bet you that their host has shut down their servers, probably for legal reasons (the link in the op explains how GB is an illegal business), and they are looking for another host...
sry 'bout that - i'm new here, but should i care what ppl are paying to me? It's exactly the same if you work for GB or for somebody like GB, but in real (in an office, with 8 hour work day and etc) - you don't care where your boss gets the money, right? You just care about your own a$$ and especially - if your boss is correct with you and pays you good and in time! I'm new in the forum (in truth, registered about year ago, but never posted anything i think), and I'm new with GB (i have 2$ from referring ppl only) but I rly don't care if they are scammers, they are selling chinese fake pills or whutevah! I'm promoting, I'm selling, I'm paid for that - I'm happy and satisfied! That's my opinion ...
@Istoka: That's what I'm saying. If you have no problem promoting scams and rip-off products then go for it! Some people care about conscience, others don't!
Initially there's just a fine. But chances are, yes. Especially if they can get Lance or Shane into the states. Spamming itself generally has a low sentence, or a big godamn civil suit. The catch is the things you have to do in order to spam email normally gets you extra shit for tax evasion and wire fraud and whatnot. Lance especially was very very naughty for a very long time. Even after they got raided the FIRST time(for sancash), he broke off and formed affking(another spammer aff program). Then of course got raided again. Retard.
Yeap... Just for info - maybe 80% of all those "herbal" pills are made in crappy chinese factories from God knows what! We all know that almost all of the products we are promoting (nevermind the aff. program) are true shit and fake (they don't work at all or they have a little effect that disappears after time) so... That's all - everybody can decide for him/her self so ... Nvm , wish u all the best with whichever affiliate program!
I found an interesting article about the owners of GenBucks (plus a lot of other illegal schemes) that was posted at the end of december last year. It could explain why the website has been down recently and why it's hopefully going to stay down permanently. It's beyond me why anyone would promote these potentially lethal and totally fraudulent products?
Their entire site is now down... Great the last time i checked a week ago i had aprox $450 for that week. Anybody can confirm?
Thanks for the link I'm still new to all of this stuff and so it may be old news to some of you but for me it was helpful. hmmm.... I might just try them out.....
>>Yeap... Just for info - maybe 80% of all those "herbal" pills are made in crappy chinese factories from God knows what! Actually not. Most are made in GMP certified manufacturing plants here in the US.
